Five drove the siblings back to the Academy, faster than Lucy thought possible.
Once they had arrived, Luther carried Allison upstairs and into the medical bay, where Grace and Pogo were waiting for them.
"Is she going to be O.K?" Asked Lucy, as Luther laid Allison down on the table, and Five kept his hands pressed against her neck.
"She's lost a lot of blood. I'm going to need one of you to donate some" admitted Grace.
"I will!" Said all of the siblings in unison.
"Out of my way" ordered Luther as he made his way around the table towards Grace.
"I'm afraid Master Luther, that your DNA is closer to mine" admitted Pogo awkwardly.

"That's O.K, I'll do it. I love needles" announced Klaus as he rolled up his sleeves.
"Master Klaus, your blood is, how do I put this, too polluted right now" replied Pogo.
Lucy moved forward, prepared to volunteer, but Pogo stopped her.
"Let me guess, my blood is also too polluted because of all the drugs you have been pumping in me for years, while I'm unconscious" sighed Lucy.
"I'm afraid so" admitted Pogo.
"Diego, it's up to you then, because if Five moves his hands from Allison's neck, she'll bleed out. He's also a lot smaller than us, and has recently lost a lot of blood himself. So you'll have to do it" insisted Lucy.
Diego nodded his head and made his way around the table.
But when Grace picked up a needle and moved towards him, he fainted.
"Wimp" mumbled Lucy.

Once Allison was more stable, all the siblings except Luther, left the room so that Grace could work on Allison, uninterrupted.
"She's going to be O.K" announced Lucy, who was trying to reassure herself by saying it out loud.
"Yes, she'll be fine. But Harold Jenkins still has Vanya, and we need to find them quickly" replied Diego.
"Vanya is not important right now" admitted Five.
"Hey, she's our sister as well" frowned Lucy.
"Yeah, that's a little cold, even for you" agreed Diego.

"I'm not saying that I don't care about her. But if we don't stop the apocalypse, then she dies along with the other 7 billion. Harold Jenkins is our main priority" insisted Five.
"Well, you've got a point there" sighed Diego.
"Good, then let's stop talking and go and find this guy" replied Five.
"You know what, I think you guys should go on without me" admitted Klaus.
"Klaus don't be stupid, get up" encouraged Lucy.
"No, I've been thinking about it, and I feel like my powers just aren't as good as yours. I'll only slow you down" replied Klaus.

"You're coming with us whether you like it or not" announced Five.
"You can't make me" snapped Klaus.
Diego threw one of his knives at Klaus, only missing him by a few inches.
"You know what, maybe a nice walk would be a good thing" continued Klaus, as he got up off the sofa.
"We should get Luther" said Five, as they made their way out of the living room.
"There's no way he'll leave Allison's side any time soon" replied Lucy.
"She's right. It's just going to have to be the 4 of us. And this time, I'm driving" announced Diego

When they arrived at Harold Jenkins house, they found the door hanging off its hinges, and the man himself laying dead on the kitchen table.
"Well, this is unexpected" commented Klaus.
"That's the understatement of the year" replied Five.
"If he's dead, does that mean that we stopped the apocalypse?" Asked Diego.
"I don't know. The note I intercepted at the commission, just said to protect Harold Jenkins, aka Leonard Peabody" admitted Five.
"But he's dead now" Lucy pointed out.
"Yes, I noticed. But it can't be that easy" mumbled Five.

"Shouldn't we be trying to track down the person who did killed him?" Questioned Diego.
"Or here's a suggestion, why don't we find Vanya and ask her what happened" replied Klaus.
"He's right. If she's just escaped this prick, then she's probably on her way back to the house. So we should get going" agreed Lucy.
"Yeah, we also shouldn't be here when the cops show up. I don't want to be blamed for another murder that I didn't commit" admitted Diego.
"Wait a minute. I need to check something first" announced Five as he approached the dead body and pulled off Harold's eye patch.
"Eugh, Five do you have to?" Asked Diego, as he covered his mouth to stop himself from vomiting.

Five removed the fake eye from his pocket and placed it into Harold Jenkins empty eye socket.
"Same size, same colour. The eye that I've been carrying around for decades belongs to him" revealed Five.
"That's not exactly useful information, since he's dead now" admitted Lucy.
"At least I know where it came from now" replied Five as he removed the eye and placed it back into his pocket.
"Good, can we go now?" Asked Diego.
"Yes, let's head back to the house" agreed Five.

Once they had arrived back home, they spilt up and headed in different directions as they searched for Vanya.
"Anything?" Questioned Lucy when they regrouped.
"Nope, nothing" sighed Five.
"Where could she be?"
"I don't know. But don't worry, we'll find her".
"Yes, but in the meantime I've got a job to do" announced Diego.
"What do you mean? You can't just leave" replied Lucy.
"She's right, Hazel and Cha-Cha are still out there" reminded Five.
"Exactly. And I have unfinished business with them" admitted Diego.

"This isn't exactly the time to be going off by yourself" said Lucy.
"This is the perfect time. We stopped the apocalypse, so now I'm free to do whatever I like" insisted Diego.
"I don't think it's as simple as that. Besides, we don't know for sure that we did stop the apocalypse. And Vanya is still out there"
"I don't care if we didn't stop it. I'm going to get revenge for Patch's death. So don't bother trying to stop me"
"I won't. We all know there is no stopping you when you set your mind on something... I'm going to go and see how Allison is doing. If you guys hear anything about Vanya, come and find me".
